The Witcher: Lord of the Elements

Dole didn't expect it to be so easy, he had to be unreasonable, he moved his foot, and continued to hit the person in front of him with a hammer, no matter where it was, directly.

dong dong dong.

After hitting the hammer three times in one breath, the man lay down without moving, and he did not know how many ribs were broken on his chest.

Dole stood up from the ground, panting and looking at the person he knocked down first.

The man couldn't care less about the pain at this moment, and looked at Dole with shock and fear.

"Don't kill me, I don't know anything."

Dolle glanced at the man's leg. The knee was broken by himself, and the bones were exposed. It looked miserable, but Dolei didn't sympathize with him at all. Not too much.

His leg was broken, so he was useless.

Dole didn't bother, and ran directly into the distance.

The man breathed a sigh of relief, and then thought of something, his face was desperate, and he even forgot the pain.

...

Otto found the entrance of the alley, and when he saw the two, his expression changed immediately.

"Who hurt you." He quickly squatted down and looked at the person lying on the ground.

The man suppressed the pain, with a look of despair on his face, "It's Dole, he attacked us in a sneak attack, he's very powerful, boss, my leg!"

Odo checked the other person. He was not dead, but just unconscious. Several ribs on his chest were broken, and blood seeped into his clothes. One hand was also smashed, and several metacarpal bones were broken. He carefully looked at the wound, It was obviously hit with a hammer.

That kid, how powerful is he now?

Seeing the injuries of the two, Otto's face darkened. These two are just punks, but their strength is not bad. They have been with him for several years, but now...

The man naturally also saw Otto's expression, a lot of words were on his lips, and he swallowed them abruptly.

It’s over.

Odo thought for a while and said, "Don't worry, it will be fine. I'll call the other brothers and get you out first. That little bastard really messed with me." He turned around and left.

Seeing Otto's expression, the man's heart sank, and then he sank lower and lower until he sank to the bottom of the valley, feeling cold in his heart.

Odo naturally went to call for someone, but he himself did not come back, and he never cared about them after dropping dozens of copper coins.

There are too many fools like this in the slums. As long as they are given enough food, some people will work for themselves.

Otto was crippled by two of his subordinates, so he was naturally unwilling to do so. As he walked out, he arrived at the gate of the city in a strange way.

When he came to the gate of the city, he raised his head, his eyes lit up immediately, and he looked for it in the city guards guarding the gate, and at a glance he saw Captain Feile sitting behind the guards.

By chance, he had a drink with Feiler and his father, and his father invited Feiler to a bar at night, so he was acquainted with each other.

He walked over immediately.

The city guard stopped him, Odo pointed to Feller behind him, and said cautiously, "I'm looking for Master Feller, we know each other."

The city guard glanced at Odo, and sneered psychologically. Others don't know him, but he does. He's just a punk.

But knowing the captain is another matter.

He turned around and said, "Captain Ferrer, someone is looking for you!"

Ferrer raised his head and took a look. After seeing Odo, he frowned. He knew Ferrer's father, Sam, a manager of the Bianchi mine, and he could collect a lot of money from him every month. , his son is rarely seen.

He nodded and said, "Call him over, that's Sam's son."

The city guards around heard about Caron, and immediately knew it by heart. The city guard who stopped Fei Le patted Odo's shoulder, "So it's Sam's son, go."

Fei Le let out a sigh of relief, thanked the city guard, stood in front of Fei Le, and said shyly, "My lord, can I take a step to speak."

...

Dole didn't know that his actions caused some disasters, he didn't know how long he hid, and after he didn't find anyone following him, he bought some food and went back to his old den. When he ran just now, he took the food Lost it all, now that I have money, buy something nice for Otto the dog.

Chapter 20 Forging by yourself

It was already dark at this time, and Dole forgot to bring a candle, so he could only practice basic boxing skills for a while, and then practice basic boxing skills, basic hammering skills, and then go to sleep.

After Dorai fell asleep, Odo quickly got up from the ground, and he slowly came to Dorai, a mouthful of multicolored light flew towards Dorai's forehead, and quickly disappeared, Dorai slept even more soundly.

The dog Otto stretched lazily, then sprang out the door, and quickly disappeared into the slums.Its speed is getting faster and faster, and its movements are becoming more and more mysterious. If you don't look carefully, you can't see its shadow at all.

Odo the dog soon came to the depths of the mine and sat on a mountain peak. The huge power penetrated into the mountain to extract the magic power in the mountain.

With the improvement of his strength, he no longer cared much about the creatures around him. There was almost no danger in this place. On the contrary, there were no birds or beasts in this place where he often stayed, and no creatures dared to approach him at all.

The mountains are quiet, not even the sound of insects, only the sound of the wind blowing over the mountain and the leaves rustling.

...

When he woke up in the morning, Dolei opened his eyes, feeling quick thinking and full of strength. He touched the skin and found that it was rough and tough, and the muscles under the skin bulged, which was strength.The flesh training has basically been completed, and it is very close to the middle-level warrior apprentice.

He's only 12 now, and he's not in a hurry, but there's a sense of urgency in his heart, which comes from his surroundings, from Otto.

Cautiously going out and coming to the blacksmith's shop, Dole was relieved. As long as he came to the blacksmith's shop, he could talk about anything. It's just a small person, and the blacksmith's relationship is complicated, just pulling out one can kill him to death.

As usual, I packed up the tools, fired the stove, and after finishing all this, breakfast was just ready, and Virek also came. After eating, I went to work early.

There is nothing to do in the blacksmith shop these days. Virek is idle from morning to night, and Dole has a lot of time to make all kinds of farm tools, hoes, sickles, kitchen knives, small hammers, honing skills, practice makes perfect, hammer No. [-] It also makes the tiger look like a tiger, but it is still not enough to pick up the No. [-] hammer. The No. [-] hammer is the symbol of a first-class blacksmith.

Duo Lai's rapid progress has long attracted everyone's attention, and even several other apprentices and first-class blacksmiths expressed their surprise.

After eating, Virek patted his stomach and sat down on what he was doing to rest. He watched Dolei busily moving around, and said with a smile, "You can do more exercises yourself now, at most you have been to the eighth forging once. Have you ever thought about Jiuduan?"

Duo Lai heated up the fire, and said with a smile, "Of course I want to. Nine forgings can make a sword."

Being able to forge weapons means that you have the strength of a first-class blacksmith. As long as you pass the blacksmith certificate, you can officially work. He has long thought about it.

Virek leaned forward slightly, and said in a slightly seductive tone, "Do you want to try? Use my share of the raw ore?"

Before he has the strength of a first-level blacksmith, he can only use waste materials, but waste materials are very limited, with high hardness and low toughness, which can be used for farming tools and other tools, but not for making weapons.Virek has a practice quota every day. If he doesn't practice, he can give it to Dole.

Hearing this, Dole was ready to move.

Recently, his strength has increased greatly, and he can hold the No. [-] hammer, so he gritted his teeth and said, "Try?"

Virek smiled and said, "Then you go and get it, let's make a rapier, it will be easier."

I just finished eating in the morning, it's still early, and I have nothing to do. Virek is also looking for fun for himself. Dole, who has a strong learning ability, will enter the first-level blacksmith sooner or later. Try it.

Hearing that Dole was about to strike a sword, the blacksmiths and apprentices who were free around them gathered around him.

Santis lay on the outside of Virek, booing, "Verek, do you want to be lazy, Dole is only 12 years old, and he has only been here for two months."

Mo Lei nodded at the side, and said in a low voice, "Yes, it took me more than half a year to master the tricks of the first level."

Santis said, "This guy sure wants to see Dory make a fool of himself."

There was echoing voices all around.

Virek chuckled and said, "Anyway, it's fine this morning. Let's try it. Dole is already able to make eight forgings, and the waste materials are still used. If you use raw ore, if you are careful about nine forgings, it should be fine."

Mo Lei's eyes widened immediately, "What's eight-forged? Is that possible?"

Several first-class blacksmiths were also shocked by this matter. They calculated that Dole had only been here for more than a month and a half. Even if he had worked in the mines before and was capable, the speed was a bit astonishing.

Virek smiled mysteriously and said, "This guy is talented, but you guys underestimated him."

At this time, Dole had already taken out the raw ore with a barrel from behind.

The iron ore has been ground into iron sand, and the purple-red iron sand looks like rapeseed particles, one by one.

Dole didn't expect that there were so many people around outside, and he didn't think too much. He weighed the ore he needed, then poured it into the crucible little by little, and hurried to the bellows to prepare for heating. .

At this time, the little worker next to him, Gan Mo, quickly came from the side, snatched Dole's bellows, and said with a smile, "I'll do it, I'll do it."

Seeing him like this, Duo Lai understood that these people's feelings are just to watch the excitement.

Everyone is free today.

Dolle nodded and said, "Thank you then, at the end of the day."

Gan Mo was a little older than him, but he hadn't come a few months earlier, and his body was still a little thin, not as strong as Duo Lai's long.

Dolei took off his clothes to reveal his muscular body. He reached out and weighed the No. [-] hammer, which felt a little light. Then he picked up the No. [-] hammer and held it in his hand, which was heavy.

Use him today.

He weighed it and put it down, and hurried to get the mold. He was already familiar with these things, and quickly made the mold of the Zhanjian carefully, and put it aside.

The blacksmiths around didn't talk much either. They were usually dull and didn't like to talk, and they rarely chatted when they were resting. In the words of the slums, they couldn't get a fart out of three sticks.

Ganmo pulled the bellows to take off, and soon, the fire burned the crucible red, and the iron sand inside began to melt slowly, turning into a pile of red hot liquid, and Dole's face was also reflected red.

When the color inside turned red and white, Dole picked up the tongs, picked up the entire crucible, quickly ran to the mold, and poured the liquid into it.

A burst of choking smoke escaped, and all the liquid in the crucible flowed into the mold.

Dole packed up the crucible and put it aside. After waiting for a while, he knocked open the mold, revealing the black sword body that had cooled down slightly inside.

This is the mold that has just been formed. It is necessary to repeatedly fold and forge the sword body nine times to achieve a first-level sword. Now it is just the beginning.

Dole held the pliers in one hand, put the battle sword mold on the felt, picked up the No. [-] iron hammer in the other hand, and struck it with the hammer in the posture of war, using the basic hammering method.

As soon as the hammer went down, there was a small hole in the concave part of the mold. Dolei looked at the depth and knew how much strength he should use, and then slowly began to beat.

Time passed slowly, the first forging, the second forging, the third forging, and even the fourth forging were not difficult, and soon it was five forging.

At the beginning of the fifth forging, the hardness of the material has already been established, and it has gradually become tougher. This is the time to test the endurance of the blacksmith. Duo Lai smashed it down with a hammer, and the sweat and the hammer flew together, and the strength did not decrease at all. , even the speed has not changed.

Chapter 21 First Class Blacksmith

Hammer hammered down, and Virek who was watching nodded straightly, Santis and Morley also nodded, and here, if Dole's sword does not make mistakes, it is already done. This little guy has a basic hammering technique. It's also working well, even though it's only been a month.

too fast.

By the time of the eighth forging, Dole's forehead was covered with sweat, but his eyes were always firm and his expression was very stable.

Seeing this, Virek and the other two second-level blacksmiths breathed a sigh of relief. This little guy is a first-level blacksmith, and he only needs to take a blacksmith certificate to work with the certificate.

When Dole pulled out the iron sword and put it into the ice water to quench it, there was a burst of applause from all around.

"congratulations."

"Dole, you're the most gifted kid I've ever seen."

"Dole, you've only been here for a month and a half, half a year longer than me. That's enough. Next month's wages will be paid for a drink." This was the voice of a first-class blacksmith.

"Yes, yes, those who want to drink and drink."

Everyone laughed.

Everyone knows that Dole comes from the slums, and he doesn't have much money. It's just a joke.

Dolai wiped the sweat from his head, and the black stains were all over his face. He didn't care, and said with high spirits, "No problem, no problem, the premise is that I have a salary."

"Haha."

At this moment, a voice came from the side, "Yes, yes, then sign the contract with me."

Boss Harley's voice came from outside.

Hearing Boss Harley's voice, all the blacksmiths also laughed, "Boss Ha, you have found a treasure. Duo Lai was promoted to the first-level blacksmith in a month, and there is hope for the third-level in the future."

Morley's distinctive voice immediately resonated with everyone around him.

"That's right, Boss Ha wants to treat you." Santis also joked.

Harley's unsmiling face also revealed an expression at this time, and he looked at Dole with a touch of softness, and said, "The treat is necessary, but not now, well, it's time for lunch, and there is still work in the afternoon."

"Just wait for the boss's words, let's eat."

Dolle rubbed his head, looked at Mr. Harley, and became a little at a loss.

Harley beckoned to him.

Virek saw that Dole was not ready to move, so he kicked him and said, "Hurry up."

Dole just woke up like a dream, and walked towards Harley.

There was no disturbance in the process of signing the contract. From then on, Dolle was a member of Lao Ke's blacksmith shop, with a monthly salary of seven silver coins until he was promoted to a second-level blacksmith. Ten percent, although very low, but this is the market price, from zero income to ten Marfa silver coins every month, Dole was stupid at the time.

Seven silver coins are [-] Mafa copper coins. If this was placed a few months ago, it would definitely be a huge sum of money, no, it is an astronomical figure.

So much so that when Dole came out, his footsteps were all vain.
